| This class is appropriate for students ages 11 and up. A previous understanding of protractors, angles and degrees is preferable. An abbreviated version of the activity, running 1.5 - 2 hours, can be requested for younger children. |

| In this activity teams of students are challenged to direct a beam of laser light through a maze using mirrors. Students begin by experimenting with mirrors to cause the laser light to "hit" a bullseye. They then review concepts of angles and hypothesize about how light reflects from a surface. From these experiences students determine that the
angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Using this knowledge, students first model and then implement the path of the laser light through the different mazes. |
